This article investigates how commercial and government-based sectors in the Philippines deploy emotive mechanisms to promote the importance of connectivity services in addressing the affective and transnational needs of overseas Filipinos. By combining a walkthrough method with critical discourse analysis, the study compares and contrasts the interface, operating model and mode of governance of three selected case studies in the Philippines: Western Union, LBC Express Inc. and BaLinkBayan. The findings reveal that the emotionalising techniques of connectivity services construct what we call ‘platformed migrant subjectivity’. This conception articulates migrants as economic subjects and valued clientele within the commercial infrastructures and operations of an online platform. In sum, this article takes a nuanced approach to examine how commercial and government institutions utilise online platforms in mobilising emotional, transnational and digital transactions, which may redefine a migrant’s subjectivity, mobility and citizenship in a digital era.

 This article explores the manifestations of power and resistance in films using Django Unchained (2012), directed by Quentin Tarantino, and 12 Years a Slave (2013), directed by Steve McQueen, as case studies. The research findings suggest that films are texts and terrains that are used to address class structures politically, socially, economically and culturally. Dominant classes use film to produce and reproduce ideologies of power and resistance. The films under scrutiny reflect an aspect of control, whereby conservative superior classes exercise the power to mistreat those who are viewed as ‘second-class citizens’. The argument of this article is that film images are mirrors of the ‘real’ world, where ideological domination is either achieved or resisted. The article deploys eclectic theories like semiotics, Marxism, critical discourse analysis, language interpretation and thematic analysis to analyse the selected films. It is hoped that the approach of these theories will help to investigate the manifestations of power and resistance in films

Most of the literature on autism and gender is rooted in a medical deficiency model. This study aimed to critically examine the discursive position of mainstream clinicians-researchers and to explore how their position affects, and may be affected by, autistic transgender individuals. We analyzed nine psychiatric case studies depicting autistic transgender individuals, and five texts written by transgender Aspie (i.e. having Asperger’s syndrome) individuals in online blogs and forums. The critical discourse analysis revealed that within the case studies’ cisgenderist-ableist lens, co-occurring autism and transgender were considered co-morbidities. Aspie transgender individuals reported difficulties in receiving social recognition of their gender. We discussed their ambivalence toward the cisgenderist-ableist discourse in light of recent cultural negotiations over the normativity of transgenderism and autism which start broadening the intelligibility of neuroqueer positions.
